Kaur (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for review by the applicant, Ms Kaur, concerning a Regional Employer Nomination (Permanent) (Class RN) visa, Subclass 187. The applicant's application had been dismissed by the Tribunal due to non-appearance.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it was required to confirm the dismissal of the application, given that the applicant had not sought reinstatement within the prescribed 14-day period.

The Tribunal applied the relevant procedural rules, which mandated confirmation of a dismissal if an application for reinstatement was not filed within the specified timeframe. As this condition was not met, the Tribunal was obliged to confirm the earlier decision to dismiss the application, thereby affirming the decision under review. The Tribunal confirmed the decision to dismiss the application.
